Francisco Cabarrús, Minister of Finance between 1808-1810, supported the government of José I along with other enlightened figures such as Mariano Luis de Urquijo, José Domingo de Mazarredo and Gonzalo O’Farrill. Among the numerous projects in which he took part, we can highlight that together with Miguel de Múzquiz, and with other European financiers, in 1782 he devised the project for the creation of the Banco de San Carlos – the first Spanish national bank. He created the Royal Company of the Philippines and started the Cabarrús Canal, today the Canal de Isabel II.
